Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 halves cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set them aside on a serving platter.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice. Using a fork or handheld mixer, combine until smooth and creamy.
Finely mince the garlic and stir it into the cream cheese mixture along with the herbes de Provence, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop or pipe about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Top each dollop of cream cheese with a halved cherry tomato, cut-side up, and sprinkle with a pinch of minced fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately or cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best enjoyed fresh.
